About This Drill

AP U.S. History — Period 4 (1800–1848) — Drill 9 is a Multiple Choice practice drill covering Period 4: 1800–1848. It contains 5 original questions created by Brian Stewart, a Barron's test prep author with over 20 years of tutoring experience.

This AP U.S. History Period 4 drill is based on the Declaration of Sentiments from the Seneca Falls Convention (1848). Questions analyze the document's deliberate echoing of the Declaration of Independence, its critique of gender inequality, and the historical context of the early women's rights movement.

Passage

The following is adapted from the Declaration of Sentiments, drafted primarily by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and adopted at the Seneca Falls Convention in Seneca Falls, New York, in July 1848. We hold these truths to be self-evident: that all men and women are created equal; that they are endowed by their Creator with certain inalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. The history of mankind is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations on the part of man toward woman, having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over her. He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise. He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignorant and degraded men — both natives and foreigners. He has made her, if married, in the eyes of the law, civilly dead. He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.
